Sure. Quit sweating the small stuff. Worry more about how you are going to raise a healthy child and teach it all the right things.

Yes. It is safe to both be O+.
In addition to the blood group (A, B, O, AB), the Rh factor is written as either positive (present) or negative (absent). Most people are Rh positive. This factor does not effect your health except during pregnancy.
A woman is at risk when she has a negative Rh factor and her partner has a positive Rh factor. This combination can produce a child who is Rh positive. While the mother's and baby's blood systems are separate there are times when the blood from the baby can enter into the mother's system. This can cause the mother to create antibodies against the Rh factor, thus treating an Rh positive baby like an intruder in her body. If this happens the mother is said to be sensitized.
A sensitized mother's body will make antibodies. These antibodies will then attack an Rh positive baby's blood, causing it to breaking down the red blood cells of the baby and anemia will develop. In severe cases this hemolytic disease can cause illness, brain damage and even death.

yes, this is what you want, I have the negative factor in my blood, A- my husband is Positive,
Heres what happenes, my body is missing the positive factor that 88% of people have, therefore my blood system will try and fight off the baby, I had to get a shot called rhogam, which will help with this, when my son was born they test my sons blood if he is nagative too then im ok, if he is positive I need the shot again. ( he was nagetive, by the way)
This will be harmful to the 2nd child if he did have opposite blood of me. But were ok!
Whew! Lots of info, I just wanted you to understand, AND NOONE WILL NEED A BLOOD TRANSFUSION like one girl said, some people and their answers amaze me!
Good Luck!
You will always be fine, you are positive, and so is your husband!
Its the negative people who have to worry!

Yes it is safe. You only have to worry when the mom has a negative blood type and the dad has a positive blood type.

If the mother is O- and the father is 0+ then the mother has to have some needles in order to prevent the fetus from being miscarried. If you are both the same blood type O+ then things will be alright.

Most certainly! Even RH- is no big deal now. They gave me a RhoGam shot at 28 weeks due to my RH- (I have A-) blood and all is well.
Glitz is wrong about your baby definitely coming out O+. Both my parents are O+ and I'm A-. All my siblings are either A+ or A-.

THe only problem you would have with blood is if the mother is RH- and the father is a positive. To be honest its not really a problem anymore...the mother just has to get shots of Rhogam to give her the positive antibodies so that her body doesn't reject the baby.

The only problem with blood types is Rh-, all other blood types are fine.

the only time it is not safe is when one of the parents (like the mom) is negative for the rhesis factor but the other parent is positive for it..then the child may be in need for blood transfusions..

Yes
O+ Is one of the most needed bloods so If I were you i would invest in cord blood giving as well. I have o+ too. I gave my sons cord blood There is nothing wrong with it at all
